- A first research development progress report of the Chromosome 19 Consortium with members from Sweden, Norway, Spain, United States, China and India, a part of the Chromosome-centric Human Proteome Project (C-HPP) global initiative, is presented (http://www.c-hpp.org). From the chromosome 19 peptide-targeted library constituting 6159 peptides, a pilot study was conducted using a subset with 125 isotope-labeled peptides. We applied an annotation strategy with triple quadrupole, ESI-Qtrap, and MALDI mass spectrometry platforms, comparing the quality of data within and in between these instrumental set-ups. LC–MS conditions were outlined by multiplex assay developments, followed by MRM assay developments. SRM was applied to biobank samples, quantifying kallikrein 3 (prostate specific antigen) in plasma from prostate cancer patients. The antibody production has been initiated for more than 1200 genes from the entire chromosome 19, and the progress developments are presented. We developed a dedicated transcript microarray to serve as the mRNA identifier by screening cancer cell lines. NAPPA protein arrays were built to align with the transcript data with the Chromosome 19 NAPPA chip, dedicated to 90 proteins, as the first development delivery. We have introduced an IT-infrastructure utilizing a LIMS system that serves as the key interface for the research teams to share and explore data generated within the project. The cross-site data repository will form the basis for sample processing, including biological samples as well as patient samples from national Biobanks.

- Adenosine signaling plays a critical role in the maintenance of articular cartilage and may serve as a novel therapeutic for osteoarthritis (OA), a highly prevalent and morbid disease without effective therapeutics in the current market. Mice lacking adenosine A2A receptors (A2AR) develop spontaneous OA by 16 weeks of age, a finding relevant to human OA since loss of adenosine signaling due to diminished adenosine production (NT5E deficiency) also leads to development of OA in mice and humans. To better understand the mechanism by which A2AR and adenosine generation protect from OA development, we examined differential gene expression in neonatal chondrocytes from WT and A2AR null mice. Analysis of differentially expressed genes was analyzed by KEGG pathway analysis, and oPOSSUM and the flatiron database were used to identify transcription factor binding enrichment, and tissue-specific network analyses and patterns were compared to gene expression patterns in chondrocytes from patients with OA. There was a differential expression of 2211 genes (padj<0.05). Pathway enrichment analysis revealed that pro-inflammatory changes, increased metalloprotease, reduced matrix organization, and homeostasis are upregulated in A2AR null chondrocytes. Moreover, stress responses, including autophagy and HIF-1 signaling, seem to be important drivers of OA and bear marked resemblance to the human OA transcriptome. Although A2AR null mice are born with grossly intact articular cartilage, we identify here the molecular foundations for early-onset OA in these mice, further establishing their role as models for human disease and the potential use of adenosine as a treatment for human disease.

- We describe the utility of integrated strategies that employ both translation of ENCODE data and major proteomic technology pillars to improve the identification of the "missing proteins", novel proteoforms, and PTMs. On one hand, databases in combination with bioinformatic tools are efficiently utilized to establish microarray-based transcript analysis and supply rapid protein identifications in clinical samples. On the other hand, sequence libraries are the foundation of targeted protein identification and quantification using mass spectrometric and immunoaffinity techniques. The results from combining proteoENCODEdb searches with experimental mass spectral data indicate that some alternative splicing forms detected at the transcript level are in fact translated to proteins. Our results provide a step toward the directives of the C-HPP initiative and related biomedical research.
